I hope you get more responses than just mine.
Just as a note,
services as denoted in Best Practices Guide, mean those defined in the
servicedef and Scripts folders.
like the services_shipment_dhl.xml
the routine you show is not a service but a routine in the service java
class.
you have two types of Service code. Java and mini-language.
I believe, that the statement about validation was more directed to the
mini-laguage type of service.
